The core is still the skeleton of the combat robot, which is as reliable as a combat vehicle chassis that has been tested on the battlefield.

However, it is foreseeable that it will take time to turn the design into a real product.

What awaits Johnny next is the same long waiting and debugging as the first time.

But with an experience, the speed may be much faster.

"Come on, little Johnny, I'm going out to play first."

When Luo Qi left, he still didn't forget to tease Johnny, and then left with a big laugh amid his gritted teeth greeting.

Oh, by the way, almost forgot to watch today's morning news.

Chapter 380 Let the water be muddier

"Lucky!? Have you read today's news?"

It's Kerry's call.

His voice was a little confused, a little surprised, but more of a fear.

"They know Johnny's back!"

Regarding relic, Kerry is one of the few new insiders, and he is also very clear about what this means.

But what he didn't know was that Luo Qi had already been waiting.

"Samurai Band Reunite, Johnny Silverhand Comes Back—Such a title, right?"

Luo Qi asked with a smile, his tone very relaxed.

"You're still in the mood to laugh." Kerry almost choked to death, "Damn it... didn't all the reporters get kicked out that day?"

"That person was let go by me."

Luo Qi knew that nothing would work right now, so he simply revealed his plan.

"Where did you read the news?"

"Does it matter where you watch the news?"

Kerry simply didn't know what Luo Qi was thinking, and he was furious, "The whole world knows that Johnny is still alive!"

"Uh, well, but no matter where you read the news..."

It can be heard that Kerry really cares about this matter. He probably broke out in a cold sweat when he first found out.

"Did you see the picture?"

"Let me tell you, I'm... er? A picture? What picture?"

Kerry froze for a moment when he heard the word.

"Yeah, photos, the boxy kind."

Luo Qi also specially emphasized, "Have you seen the photos of you on stage in various reports?"

"Yes, of course there is... right?"

Kerry's tone became more uncertain, "Ouch, fuck you, wait."

Then there was a fluttering sound from the other end of the phone, as if some porcelain was broken, and after a while of searching, the sound of bare feet stepping on the wooden floor was clearly discernible.

"Red Mud Bar...yes, this is it."

Kerry finally found his browsing history, "This is the bar where we performed yesterday."

"Yes, and then what?"

Luo Qi suppressed a smile and asked.

"And then there's the bartender's interview, shit, shit, I told them not to talk nonsense!"

Kerry was furious, and felt like he was going to find someone to put a sack on that guy and beat him up every minute.

Needless to say, since Johnny came back and Samurai reunited once, Kerry's voice and temper became visibly irritable.

Or rather, younger.

"...Eh? Uh...uh...hiss——that's not right, what the hell..."

Kerry seemed to be flipping through it, but couldn't find a direct photo.

"If you look at other reports on the Internet, most of them mean the same thing."

Rocky was very relaxed.

After a few minutes, Kerry gave up looking altogether.

"All are similar reports, but..."

"But there's just not a picture of you, is there?"

Rocky added.

Kerry said "hmm," sounding silly.

"That's why I let that reporter go on purpose—"

Rocky said, "Would you rather let those reporters bite your ass, or let them scramble, afraid of being one step behind the others, rushing to report that the Samurai band has an underground gig in a rock bar?"

"You mean, fake news?"

Kerry is not stupid, he guessed Luo Qi's intentions at once.

"No photos, no videos, nothing to say."

Rocky was happy.

In an age where fake photos and videos are commonplace, and there are no photos or videos, what do you want the audience in Night City to think of these news?

"The heat will always go to the sky at first, but soon everyone will find out the problem."

During the time working with Regina and Max, Luo Qi learned a lot of common sense about the media, including the favorite "scoops" and "shocking revelations" of these big newspapers and tabloids.

Anyway, from personal evidence to physical evidence, it is all available.

But there is not a single photo of the key party.

Just let him ferment such news.

Even the news of depression and suicide has been hyped up by Kerry, and he doesn't care that the old calendar of the Samurai band is mentioned.

Talking about Samurai in 2077 is like talking about The Beatles in 2022—

They are all old antiques that were disbanded half a century ago, but their influence still exists.

"But I'm not talking about me, it's Johnny!"

After Kerry calmed down, he then emphasized, "Aren't you worried about him?"

"Don't worry, there will be no Johnny Silverhand in the future."

Luo Qi was even less worried about this.

"What do you mean?"

This made Kerry's eyelids twitch, so he quickly jumped off the sofa, found a bottle of wine that hadn't spoiled, and poured himself a glass.

Suppressed.

"Don't worry, Johnny is fine, it's just that the battery is out, and it's being upgraded now."

When Luo Qi said this, there was obviously no one around, but he subconsciously lowered his voice a little.

"In the future, the face and shape will also be changed. No one will recognize it. You don't have to hide it."

"Really? That's fine..."

Kerry said "Oh~", "But, is that still Johnny? He has the kind of character that never changes."

"You will know when you see it."

Luo Qi sold another pass.

I'm really curious what Kerry's expression looks like when he sees Johnny Silverhand in his young form, and whether he will remember the time when they met back then.

But speaking of it, Kerry back then was also stunned, and those who didn't know thought he was a street kid from somewhere.

"Don't worry, although they mentioned Johnny, and they all confirmed that this is the real Johnny Silverhand."

Luo Qi said calmly, "But you don't think this so-called 'certainty' is very similar..."

"Eighteen-line tabloids."

Kerry helped Luo Qi finish the rest of the words.

"That's what I mean."

Rocky snapped his fingers.

"Hmm... Now that you say that, I'm relieved."

Kerry slammed the bottle down on the table.

I don't know when I switched from wine glasses to bottles.

"I didn't have time to thank you yesterday, so I won't talk about money. It's too vulgar. If you have anything to do in the future, feel free to mention it."

That heroic Kerry made Luo Qi feel a little strange.

But maybe it's part of who he's been hiding behind the mask for 50 years.

"Johnny's brother is mine... well, forget it, that guy doesn't have many brothers."

Kerry hiccupped, then thought about it with his dizzy head from early in the morning, "Anyway, you are my... little brother."

Don't talk about money, too vulgar?

Don't, brother.

Rocky is a little bit pained.

You are not interested in money, I am.

Kerry, who was able to buy a house in the North Oak area and spoil it casually, naturally had no shortage of money.

When he was happiest, he and Johnny didn't have a lot of money in their pockets, but every time they had no scruples, they had a full day without any scruples.

But Luo Qi didn't intend to ask for money, after all, favors are much more difficult than money.

He is very simple, and he likes others to owe him favors.

If there is a debt, there will be repayment, and if you come and go again, this friend is really made.

"By the way, fuck me!"

Something suddenly flashed before Luo Qi's eyes, making him scream.

"What's wrong!?"

This call almost sobered Kerry up, and he asked in a hurry.

"I forgot to ask you for autographs! Blood loss!"

Luo Qi felt the pain that used to pierce his heart.

This was the signature of Samurai's reunion show, and he just forgot about it.

By the way, which media did the reporter belong to yesterday, and it should be too late to burn down the entire building in the past.

Luo Qi gradually revealed a fierce look.

"Hey, huh, I thought it was a big deal."

Kerry was a little nervous because of his surprise, "I still have some in my collection, and I will get a piece for you to sign later."

"Henry's, I can get it for you. For Nancy, you can go directly to her company to find her. For Johnny, you are much closer to him than me. As for Dany..."

Kerry seemed to be thinking about whether it would be embarrassing to go to the door by himself even though they all lived in the North Oak area.

After all, the two of them haven't seen each other for many years. If it wasn't for Johnny's return this time, I'm afraid they really wouldn't have any contact with each other.

"It's okay, I'll go get it myself."

Luo Qi still owes Dany a favor, which is the price for her agreeing to perform on the same stage with Henry.
